Parker Posey Talks with Michael Schulman

帕克·波西对话迈克尔·舒尔曼
True original.
真正的独一无二。

From party girl to teacher’s pet, Parker Posey, named Time’s “Queen of the Indies” in 1997, has delighted audiences for three decades with her exasperated-quirky-girl zingers and her uncanny embodiment of indignance. Last year, in Mike White’s third season of “The White Lotus,” Posey sunk her teeth into the plummy accent and soul-subsuming wealth of a Southern princess turned ill-equipped matriarch. This fall, she appears in Martin McDonagh’s new movie, “Wild Horse Nine,” as the wife of a C.I.A. agent who’s been dispatched to Easter Island, played by Sam Rockwell. At the twenty-seventh annual New Yorker Festival, Posey joined the staff writer Michael Schulman to talk about her career as a sui-generis actress.

从派对女孩到老师的宠儿,帕克·波西(Parker Posey)1997年被《时代》杂志评为“独立电影女王”,三十年来,她用那些气急败坏又古灵精怪的妙语连珠,以及对愤慨情绪的惊人演绎,给观众带来了无数欢乐。去年,在迈克·怀特(Mike White)执导的《白莲花度假村》第三季中,波西大展身手,塑造了一位南方公主出身的、被巨额财富吞噬灵魂的、力不从心的女家长形象。今年秋天,她将出演马丁·麦克唐纳(Martin McDonagh)的新片《野马九号》,饰演一位被派驻复活节岛的中央情报局特工(山姆·洛克威尔饰)的妻子。在第二十七届纽约客文化节上,波西与特约撰稿人迈克尔·舒尔曼(Michael Schulman)对谈,回顾了她作为一位自成一派的女演员的职业生涯。
